Overpriced and Only OK

This jacket is way too expensive. i got it on a pro deal and paid way below wholesale, otherwise it is not worth the money.

I will start with the bad and end with the good. Two bad things. The price and the overall quality. I have a bunch of arcteryx stuff and this one is just okay, as opposed to being great like some of my other garments made by them.
The fabric feels light and not all that durable. for example, I was walking through a doorway and my sleeve got snagged on the door frame. The jacket ripped through all layers of the coat. I have had similar things happen in other jackets with no rips or tears at all. And I am hard on my stuff and wear it in much worse places than a doorway. (For example a bike crash in my mountain hardware fleece, no tears or evidence of any damage.)

Noe for the good. Unbelievably comfortable and warm. i love wearing this thing and that is why I am so bitter about the tear. i couldnt imagine if I had paid 350 for it and then got a tear in a simple doorway. but this jacket is warm and amazing to wear.

i got an XL and I am 6'1" 45" chest 36" waist. it fits well. Usually things bind up in my shoulders and I dont have this problem at all in this jacket. it has a little stretch to it which is nice. And the lofted fleece interior is great. The only reason this jacket got a three is because it tore so easily.

so if you got an extra 350, buy it but be careful not to snag it cause it will tear.
